Experience with database systems, including both relational and NoSQL databases, for managing persistent data.
Understanding of data serialization formats like JSON, XML, and Protocol Buffers for efficient data exchange.
Ability to design modular and scalable middleware components that can be easily integrated and maintained.
Experience in designing and implementing APIs for middleware services, ensuring they are robust and easy to use.

You should be:

Familiar with Automotive Industry Standards

Functional Safety (ISO 26262): Understanding of functional safety standards and their implications for software development.
Cybersecurity (ISO/SAE 21434): Knowledge of cybersecurity standards and practices to ensure secure communication and data management.
